Here ya go Frank; I went and swiped it of your "Archive link" and posted it under your "The Christmas Song" thread here. Me and Jeff were very proud of this one we did...gosh 15 years ago-ish..??ha...ENJOY; as it is a beautiful version.
Tab:

Here's what Jeff Lampert and I drew up on C6th pedal steel in the original Key of Eb and we labled the pedals(4;5;6;7;8> a;b;c;d;e and "L" is lower half tone and "R" is raise half tone> you'll get it.
